The zombie apocalypse is coming to Lion's Gate

• Lions Gate (LGF -0.3%) purchase of the North American rights to zombie thriller Maggie could pay off, according to analysts.
• The apocalyptic tale set to be released in 2015 has the right mix to potentially become a franchise which is a key element of the investment story on LGF with Hunger Games and Divergent set to run out the string.
• Another bonus: The Arnold Schwarzenegger vs. zombies plot line has already created a buzz a year out.
